Nana Oduro Panin Burikuran, the Chief of New Edubiase, has hailed the free SHS policy of the NPP government, and described it as the greatest intervention in the nation’s education sector which has alleviated the burden on parents and guardians. He said, owing to the life-changing impact of free SHS, Ghanaians must do everything to protect the policy from a possible cancellation by future government.
According to the Chief, since free SHS is an NPP initiative, the best way to protect the policy, is to allow the NPP to continue to be in government so that they can protect their legacy which has benefitted every household. The Chief recounted how Free SHS benefited his household and the need to ensure that the policy continues to exist so that many more Ghanaians can benefit from it.
“I have 5 children, 3 of whom have befitted from the NPP’s free SHS policy and I didn’t have to pay anything. I want the remaining 2 children to also enjoy free quality education. I cannot risk their future by trusting a leader who does not believe in free SHS. Millions of people across the country also share similar story. This is one of the many reasons why Ghanaians must support the NPP”.
Nana Oduro made these remarks during a courtesy call by Hon. Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the NPP Vice Presidential Candidate, to the New Edubiase Chief Palace on Monday, 23rd September, 2024, as part of his campaign tour. The Chief also commended the government for undertaking many developmental projects in the area. He mentioned in particular, the construction of roads as well as school and hospital infrastructure.
On his part, Dr. Prempeh while thanking the Chief and people of New Edubiase for the warm reception, appealed to them to vote massively for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and the party’s parliamentary candidate, Hon. George Oduro for the NPP to rightly reclaim the New Edubiase Seat, which they lost in the last elections.
The Running Mate to Dr. Bawumia concluded his constituency-focused campaign tours for the day visiting Obuasi East and West, where he rallied support for the party’s flagbearer and parliamentary candidates, Hon. Dr. Patrick Boakye-Yiadom for Obuasi East and Hon. Kweku Kwarteng for Obuasi West.
